My friend's son has a late 90's subaru which is overheating. I don't have access to the car, but it seems there are (2) coolant temperature sensors; one for the dash gauge and one for the ECU. Does the ECU one also control the fan?
I see this

But that seems to be a generic fan control that fits millions of cars. Should I be assuming that a simple thermometer type device controls the fan turning on and off?
The car is a mutant; it is an 1997 Impreza hatch with a 2.5L block that has been rebuilt. I will also be buying a thermostat and getting that replaced.
Would appreciate any 'subaru specfic' idiosyncrasies if applicable
Thanks.
